The Ever-Evolving Nature of Relationships
Lately, I've been thinking about the ever-evolving nature of relationships. All relationships ebb and flow, but I think that's especially true for romantic relationships. Even little things, like one partner starting a new job, can affect when and how often a couple gets together, and therefore cause larger issues in the relationship.
One of my favorite stages of a romantic relationship is what some refer to as the "honeymoon stage." This is the time at the beginning when both partners are flying high as kites and just enjoying being together. For me, there is an almost euphoric, joyous sensation in going out on dates and getting to know my partner, and it lasts a fairly long time. I'm always scared for this stage to end, because I never know what to expect next. When "the honeymoon stage" is over, and a couple starts to experience more elements of daily life together, it can be a struggle to schedule some of those romantic moments that they initially enjoyed.
One other tricky stage of a relationship is when a couple moves in together. I recently had a conversation with a couple of my WDC friends about our significant others' daily living habits. My pet peeves: why is the silverware drawer not organized and since when does putting stuff in piles mean the same thing as cleaning?  I don't think I'm ready to move in with my man for good anytime soon. . .
No matter what stage your relationship is in, there are obviously going to be ups and downs and issues to work through. I am fascinated by couples who have been together for 30, 40, or even 50 years, and still seem as much in love as the day they met. I might even be a little envious by their ability to survive all of life's struggles together. I'm still learning the best way to share my life with another person, but one thing is for sure: the experience I've gained with the intricacies of love help me write more realistic characters when they fall in love.

I totally agree. I don't like to read romance that doesn't seem real. I don't like reading about fantastic plastic people. I want to feel for the characters so they need to be real and that means complete with flaws. I wrote a quick entry in my blog once that this editorial totally reminded me of - it was a writing prompt - check it out if you're bored enough  "Invalid Entry" Thanks for a great article.  -Brooke
